Full Job Description

General Purpose

Applicants currently attending a Colorado P.O.S.T. certified academy should not apply here. They should apply using the Certified Police Officer job posting.

Join the Commerce City Police Department and be part of a dynamic, diverse community committed to safety, service, and excellence. We take pride in our community-based policing initiatives that foster strong connections with residents and businesses while setting the standard for police services in the region. We are seeking dedicated individuals with a passion for serving others, a deep understanding of community-oriented policing, and the ability to communicate, problem-solve, and collaborate effectively in a team environment. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact and grow with a city on the rise, we want to hear from you!

Persons hired as Police Cadets will be sponsored and paid to attend a Colorado-certified Peace Officers and Standards Training (P.O.S.T.) academy in the Denver Metro area. A P.O.S.T. academy consists of learning the foundational concepts and laws required to work as a responsible police officer in a variety of activities including physical fitness, police patrol, investigation, crime prevention, traffic safety, community relations, non-criminal police services, Colorado Revised Statutes, arrest control, defensive tactics, defensive driving, and basic firearms. Candidates hired in this recruitment for this position must successfully complete the P.O.S.T. academy, successfully pass the P.O.S.T. certification test, obtain state certification, and sign a reimbursement agreement with the City of Commerce City. Upon completing the P.O.S.T. certification process and starting the In-house Training Academy, the Police Recruit will be promoted to a Police Officer to complete their training at the Commerce City Police Department.
